Vac & Dash Streaker Challenge 2021

Vac & Dash Streaker Challenge - Run at least a mile a day on each of the 365-Days in 2021.  

Want to be a Vac & Dash Streaker?  It's easy, all you have to do is run at least one mile each day during 2021 and you will become a member of the 6th Vac & Dash Streaker Club Team.  Anyone is eligible to participate.  

THE CHALLENGE

The rules are simple, RUN at least a mile a day, each and every day of 2021.  You can RUN on either the roads, a track, trails, or on a treadmill.  One question always comes up, do you have to run the mile consecutively without stopping.  Use your judgement. Example, if you are out and running a mile, and your shoe lace becomes undone, it's ok to stop and tie your shoe. The same goes for traffic. If you running and have to stop for a car before continuing on your run, that's ok. You just need to run at least a mile in a day.

Important Rules:  This is a running challenge.  POWER WALKING and WALKING does not count. You must RUN a mile each and every day of the year.  IF YOU MISS A DAY FOR ANY REASON YOU ARE OUT.
